Hey guys. I'm just curious if this happens with you too. My Jetta turns on the air conditioner automatically when I set the climate control to defrost. I know that it does that. But when I click the button to turn off AC, the light turns off. The AC still runs, though. Whether or not the light for the AC is on the air conditioner is always on. Is that okay?

I think the optimal setting is for the A/C to run as it pulls the moisture out of the air.

You can run the A/C and turn the temperature to heat. That will give you the warmth you desire and the A/C can do its thing at removing the moisture from the air.

Yeah, that makes sense, but is it normal for the AC to always run on defrost, whether the button is pressed or not?
